A US schoolteacher has been arrested on suspicion of snorting cocaine in front of the class she was teaching.
Two girls, aged nine and ten, said they saw Joan Donatelli, 59, dipping a pen cap into a plastic bag filled with white powder, then putting it to her nose.
The Ananova report said she later confessed to sniffing cocaine in front of her students. What kind of teacher would do such a thing? I mean, other than Rick James if he became an elementary school teacher.
The school later said Donatelli had been retired and worked at the school as a substitute. So I guess this mean she won’t be able to cover chemistry class next week?
A police sergeant also told Ananova she told police she had been suffering from an addiction, “something she’s been struggling with.” Far be it from us to make fun of some else’s chemical dependencies, but I wonder if she ever ran out of her stash and was tempted to try the blackboard chalk.

I'm sure the Coke addiction had something to do with that bizarre thought process.

No way. There's no judge in the land who will give this person their job back. There is no way the argument can be made (successfully) that, due to a disability (addiction supposedly) this person needs an accommodation of being allowed to snort cocaine in the classroom. It is not a reasonable accommodation to allow someone to use illegal drugs in front of children.

Yeah, I know, but it still scares me that something like that might happen.
